In the dark dungeon, the torch is the only light in the dark environment.
Chu Jiaoli walked slowly, her elegant temperament seemed out of place.
The jailer guarding the door bowed respectfully to her, then picked up the key and opened the cell door.
Chu Jiaoli frowned slightly as she looked at the two shivering children hugging each other.
Bai Xue raised her eyes and glanced at Chu Jiaoli. Seeing that she was fine, the guilt in her heart eased a little.
She only glanced briefly, then timidly lowered her head and huddled in Qingshan's arms.
Qingshan looked at Chu Jiaoli, and a self-deprecating sneer suddenly appeared on his pale face. Chu Jiaoli was alive, but they were the ones who died.
Chu Jiaoli's calm voice came: "Why did you poison me?"
Bai Xue lowered her head,
With a slight trembling of fear in her voice, she said: "Sister Fairy,
Sorry, we were also coerced by others..."
"What's the use of talking nonsense to her?" Qingshan stopped him and said to Chu Jiaoli, "People in high positions are good. You were born to be superior and have never suffered any poverty. How do you know what kind of life we live every day?
?You rich people like to use your power to play with us poor people! I don’t want to be fooled by you anymore. We won’t live long anyway, so give it a good time.”
Chu Jiaoli raised her eyebrows slightly, turned her head towards Jingyue and said, "Find a doctor to take a look at them."
Jingyue lowered her head to accept the order, turned around and walked out.
Hearing these words, Qingshan showed a slightly surprised expression, looked at Chu Jiaoli with a somewhat complicated expression, and said: "How do you know..."
Chu Jiaoli raised her left hand, touched Huazhi's fingertips and rubbed them gently, and said leisurely: "Since I have been poisoned,
You must have come into contact with me. The mission has not been completed and the antidote cannot be obtained. Fortunately, in order to confuse the suspicion, the poison is not effective immediately, but it can last for a few days. Otherwise, you can still yell at me so energetically now.
Scold?"
Qingshan hesitated to speak, but suddenly he said a word. He looked at Chu Jiaoli in shock. Bai Xue was the first to speak: "Sister Fairy, you are so amazing..."
Qingshan frowned with a complicated expression and turned away.
After a while, after a doctor's diagnosis and treatment, they were indeed poisoned by the same poison as Chu Jiaoli.
"Return to the Queen, this poison is the heart-broken flower poison unique to the East. If there is no antidote, you will definitely die within three days."
Chu Jiaoli said calmly: "You knew you were poisoned, why didn't you write down the antidote and get some medicine?"
"Hey,
The villain obeys orders."
Hear the conversation between the two,
Qingshan looked at her in surprise and said, "Are you willing to save us?"
Chu Jiaoli gently raised the corners of her lips and said, "Do you know that I am a good person?"
Qingshan was still wary and said: "What else do you want to use us for?"
Chu Jiaoli slowly suppressed her smile and said: "Expose the mastermind."
Hearing this, Bai Xue said: "Sister Fairy, the mastermind..."
Before she could say a few words, Qingshan raised his hand to cover her mouth and whispered: "Let her give us the antidote first."
Chu Jiaoli chuckled softly and said: "You are such a young kid, so you are very wary."
"Humph." Qingshan snorted coldly. Although his voice was still immature, it revealed the sadness of suffering in the world, showing a tone that was more mature than a child of the same age. "If I hadn't been vigilant, would I still be alive today?
?"
"If you weren't so harsh in your tone, you might be able to live longer." Chu Jiaoli teased nonchalantly.
After a while, the antidote was prepared and brought over.
The brother and sister were already poisoned and were about to die, so they had no time to worry about whether there was anything wrong with the medicine, so they drank it while pinching their noses.
Bai Xue grabbed Qingshan's sleeve and said, "Brother, we won't die, right?"
Qingshan pursed his lips and said slightly awkwardly to Chu Jiaoli: "Thank you."
Bai Xue knelt down and kowtowed to Chu Jiaoli, and said: "Sister Fairy, let's talk about everything. It was people from the county government who arrested our parents, showed us a portrait of you, and handed it over to us.
A flower, let us find a way to put the flower in your hands. If you don't do it, they will kill our parents... The fairy sister is a good person, please save our parents..." p>
By the time she finished speaking, she had cried all over her face, and Chu Jiaoli couldn't help but feel her heart move.
She looked at Qingshan and said: "Your sister has confessed, do you still want to hide the murderer?"
Qingshan hesitated for a moment, then knelt down towards Chu Jiaoli and said, "What my sister said is the truth. If I can save our parents, Qingshan is willing to dedicate his life to her."
Chu Jiaoli raised her lips slightly and said: "Very good." She raised her hand behind her, and the attendants brought over a bunch of couples with faces full of vicissitudes of life.
"Qingshan, Xue'er!" The four of them hugged each other, crying.
Qingshan still looked stunned and said: "How did you..."
The woman looked at Chu Jiaoli and said: "It's all because of the great kindness of the empress. She sent someone to rescue us last night. She said she would reunite our family of four, and she really did keep her promise..."
Seeing the four people thanking her with tears in their eyes, Chu Jiaoli sighed softly and said, "How long will you continue to stay in the prison? Jingyue, take them out and put them in place."
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and left.
"Mother, are you willing to let us go? Are you not going to investigate the crimes committed by these two children?" The woman stopped her.
Chu Jiaoli paused slightly and said, "Everything happens for a reason. I am not an ignorant person."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qingshan walked up to her. Jingyue stepped forward defensively to stop him, but Chu Jiaoli waved her hand lightly, asking him to step aside.
She looked down at the green mountain and said, "What?"
Qingshan knelt down and said: "Empress, you saved my life. You saved our family. I am willing to follow you."
Chu Jiaoli looked at him in silence for a while, then showed a faint smile and said to Jingyue: "Jingyue, would you like to take me as a disciple?"
Jingyue frowned slightly in confusion and whispered: "Ms., he is from Dongling..."
Chu Jiaoli raised her eyebrows slightly and said: "He is just a child."
Jingyue nodded and said, "I will obey your Majesty's instructions."
Bai Xue timidly grabbed her clothes, walked to her with small steps, and said: "Sister Fairy, I also want to go to Beiming... Is it okay? I heard that my sister is in Beiming. I have been there for a long time.
I haven’t seen my sister anymore..."
Chu Jiaoli showed a faint smile, reached out and stroked her head, and said: "Jingyue, take this whole family to Beiming."
After saying that, Bai Xue showed an innocent smile: "Thank you, fairy sister!"
After walking out of the dungeon, Chu Jiaoli looked at the palace walls covered with white silk and sighed softly.
At dawn in the early morning, news of Donggong Cangqiong's death spread throughout the imperial capital...
